@Adam514:

@oysteilo:

OK. posted your win

I have never been outplayed like this before.

Maybe I can stall the middle east one more round but India is lost J5 in any case. At that point……  it is full usa Pacific. We all now what that means for G

If you care to advise what I did wrong I am happy to listen

Maybe Taranto was wrong, maybe Iraq was wrong but in any case the other scenario would have been a poor choice too.

Alright good game!

What I think you did wrong:
1. You overspent on defending London on UK1, 6 inf 1 fig is more than enough and you can do 7 inf 1 tp for South Africa if your goal is to keep Egypt.

2. A combination of not sending the India fig and tac to Africa on UK1 to defend Egypt and not moving out of Egypt with the potential double. You should either make sure Egypt is safe or focus elsewhere and move out on the odds the Axis had on it.

3. If you think Japan is going to declare J3, you should build the maximum out of Western US so that they can move into position even if Japan does not declare J2, while the fleet out of Eastern US is stuck there.

4. Not too sure what your plan was with the UK carrier in South Africa, but Allies should put pressure on Axis as soon as they can.

5. 2 US carriers in the Atlantic is often too much, you are better off having tps instead of them (and having UK support with navy a bit), Germany has a lot more pressure on it from transports than from navy.

6. I’m not a fan of putting a threat on Tokyo as the US, I think it’s too easily parried. US is better off setting up in 54 in order to either force blockers or kill a couple of Japanese tps. Going to 16 puts the US out of position.

I think that’s it. It’s mostly minor things. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the advise! I will look into this, maybe look at a couple of your games as well

@JDOW:

@simon33:

F*ck. Didn’t see that. The Axis were totally losing by far and Japan virtually defeated. To have it win shows some pretty broken victory conditions. Maybe it should require holding the VCs for two turns? Allies can’t win by victory cities.

But good win by the rules. I’ll post the result.

I don’t want to put salt into that wound and I just wanted to share that I find it totally ok that such victory conditions exist because it adds spice to the game. Players can make bold moves in order to change the situation if the edge went to a particular side.
Otherwise every Axis player would have a insta resign if he does not see how to get an economic victory and the whole game would be about money, not cities.

I compare this to chess. If you make a couple of piece sacrifices in order to get a mating attack you win, no matter how much you are down in material. Such victories are similar to me :)

Well said, that`s the point. :)

In BM it is good that if Berlin falls, Japan has to take 7 cities, which is also fair to the Allies.

:)

Yea, I actually didn’t do the math on the Chinese forces because I figured that in order to properly crush them, you’d have to move your fleet into a disadvantageous position.  What I forgot was how well the Italian and German stuff can set up a safe zone.

Ah well.  I was probably doomed anyway.

thanks for the game, man. Have a good time on the forums!

Let me know if you want a rematch, and what units you would like sir.

Thanks for the game. It get prolonged so I get to chance to try few interesting moves.

I have too many games at the moment, but I will contact U in the future. :)

will u post this one, or do you want me to?

Yeah, I made some moves that really left me confused as to what I was thinking later, and you took advantage well.

I think around 21~24 is about par for Allies, maybe even lower.  If they can get the Axis struggling on one side, and hold their own on the other they’ve got a good shot.  The Axis don’t have the production to fight from parity, until they take considerable territory.
